[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What rental properties give me is something that I cannot easily convert to cash. Had I instead invested in the stock market, it would've been too easy to cash that out for something I wanted or to deal with unplanned expenses. Instead, for those unplanned expenses, I got a personal loan that I quickly paid off. I have a ton of equity across my properties, but no one would know it because I don't pull it out to increase my lifestyle. I agree that positive cash flow is not a huge thing for me because my principal is being paid down each and every month, which is income to me. The one downside to rental properties to me is knowing when to get out, if ever, knowing that the tax hit will come. When is the end game?[/quote] The end game is to leave it to your kids so they can take advantage of the step-up basis...no tax hit if they sell right away.[/quote]
